Opportunities for 2017-2018

Each spring, the Writing Lab at Purdue recruits consultants (i.e. tutors) for the next academic year, and we are now accepting applications for 2017-2018. Follow the links below for information about each tutoring staff group. For more information about tutoring opportunities in the Writing Lab, please contact Tammy Conard-Salvo, Writing Lab Associate Director.

We are interested in reflecting the diversity of the Purdue community. Students from diverse backgrounds are encouraged to apply for positions in the Writing Lab.

Graduate Students

The Writing Lab only employs graduate students in English at Purdue University for graduate tutoring jobs. We do not accept applications from graduate students in other departments or from other institutions, and students must have assistantship funding through the English Department.

Undergraduate Students

Purdue undergraduate students of any major who are interested in working in the Writing Lab must first take a Tutoring Practicum course before being eligible for employment. You have the option of taking English 390A if you would like to tutor students in First Year Composition (English 106 or 108). You may take English 390B if you are interested in tutoring Business, Technical, and Professional Writing.
